[time-nuts] True to there word. - Fancy WWVB

[J. Forster]

If you track for a day, and draw a straight line throught the diurnal
shift, you can easily see a frequency drift of 45 degrees. That's 1/8
cycle of 60 KHz or about 2 uS. So 2x 10 E-6 out of 10 E5, so you can see 2
x 10 E-11 in a day.

ASSUMING the lock does not break.
